Who is "weakest" team with winning record?

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

i can give a rat ass about the other teams. I'm just holding my team up to a higher standard of play if they want to succeed. We want to be postive but just not blinded by it, we have to look threw the forest to see the trees.

Well then you can't really answer the question in this thread since you don't even seem to pay attention to any other teams.

Well, sadly, we have the lowest total points scored (152) of any winning team (I'm not including the Ravens because they play tonight). We have also been outscored by our opponents this year (160), even though a third of that came in one game. So aside from the Patriots aberration we're outscoring opponents 145-108 (average game score of 20-15). Not bad. Plus our three losses are to teams that are a combined 22-3. We haven't exactly had the toughest road in our wins though, with our victories over teams that are a combined 13-28!!! That's a glaring number right there. And only 1 of our 5 wins is against a winning team (Detroit). Could we be the "weakest" team with a winning record??? I think we might be.

Other contenders IMO: Detroit, Tampa, Jacksonville

Good post. Finally someone put some thought into their response here.

I like to think. Thinking is my favorite.

I don't understand why we are talking about teams that don't deserve their records, think about it, the skins could'a had it a lot worse, and we have a winnable game on sunday.

Baltimore stinks, while they have a rock solid defense but their offense is just middle of the road at best. Like my teacher said tonight "If the Steelers get up 14-0 on the Ravens that game is over".

I think at this point in the season, the Redskins could beat the Ravens.

Smart teacher

Baltimore Ravens by far.

[Redskin]

ravens for sure, just watch this game

Yeah, after last night's game this isn't really even a question worth debating. The Ravens are the weakest team with a winning record.

There are really only two complete teams in the league right now. EVERY other team has issues in some degree. Especially in the NFC.

Packers: can't run the ball consistently and thus have trouble closing out a game. Since they have Favre they still win the close ones.
Cowboys: Their secondary is not as strong as their pass defense ranking suggests. They get great pressure and confuse offenses but good QB's and OC can take advantage of them.
Giants: Not very consistent. Eli still rushes when he's knocked around and Burress makes highlight catches but is lost during long stretches of the game. Pass ranking of 22nd will hurt them against a team that can stop the run and eliminate big plays.
Lions: Kitna takes way too many hits and they still play completely different on grass.
Bucs: RB's are dropping left and right. Garcia is gutsy but they can't win as a one-dimensional team.
Panthers: Vinny? Carr? Simth has nobody to get him the ball and their D is showing their age.
Saints: Every time the ball is snapped could be a score. O is huge but where's the D?
Seahawks: can't run the ball effectively and don't pressure the QB.
Cards: They find a way to lose still. Warner is a good QB but immobile and injury prone. Could Rattay win a game?

What's my point? These are the division leaders. More than ever the NFL is about matchups. Despite being a "weak" team with a winning record, the Skins match up very well with some of these teams and horribly with others.

You wouldn't call Pittsburgh a complete team? Granted, they are pouring it on Baltimore right now, but they do everything well. Excellent running and passing attack, very good special teams, and maybe the best D in football. They're outstanding despite 2 losses.

After last night's game, wow. I really was just breaking down the NFC and showing that despite our nonexistent downfield passing attack every team in our conference has an equally glaring weakness.
If the Steelers were in the NFC they would be in the SB but they are not as consistent as the Colts and Pats. I think that would make a lot folks on here pretty ticked.
